The Best Ways to Keep Floors Clean With NIC Cubes

Neat Ideas Cubes, also referred to as NIC, are storage units that offer great, cost-effective ways of building a rabbit cage or condo that fits into your life and that gives your rabbit space and safety. The cubes fit together with connectors, so you can change the shape and size at random. While the NIC wire construction is great for the sides and top of the cage or pen, the bottom should be lined with a solid material to prevent painful injury to your pet.

Instructions

    • 1

      Assemble the NIC on top of the floor protection. The more space your rabbit has to roam around, the happier it will be. Remember as well that you need to be able to reach your pet, as well as its food, water and littler box, so plan accordingly. If you are assembling the pet's home on a concrete or tile floor, you don't need to worry about protecting the floor. The floor protection is there to prevent your pet from chewing on rugs or carpets and to prevent spilled water from draining through and staining or molding the carpet.

      Set up the litter box in one corner of the pen. Locate the box where you can easily reach it to change the litter.

      Layer the floor with grass mats. If needed, cut the mats to fit in corners. Place additional mats on any perches within the condo or pen. The mats are safe for the rabbit to chew on, inexpensive to purchase and easy to replace as needed to keep the pen clean.
